Fair enough :)

 

And I would be thinking the same if I had the build I would be dreading the roof repair... Front ends can be a right C*ck to do sometimes though. The one of my sidewalk went on ok but needs some adjustment on the front of the wings for the bonnet to sit right..

Got some more done today spent most of the day cleaning the unit as it was a right old mess !!

Did manage to get the drivers rear wheel arch welded in.

At first it was a crap fit after a hour or 2 fetteling finally got it to fit to the point where I was happy with it :)

How the front fitted.

And the rear was shocking ! With a missive gap


F79B7E37-4D83-4342-B0CD-AA5581CB8CD4.jpg

Now fitted perfect

Didn't get anything done yesterday as spend the day with my son and misses.

Got down there today didn't get a great deal done. Managed to finish on most of the door post and get the a panel and sill welded on. Then spend most of he day sorting bits out for shot blasting/powerdercoating

All zinc primered before fitting

Cheers pal. Either going to to the rear quarter on drivers side or I will get passenger side inner and outer a panels fitted and then do door skin. Should have other arch coming this week. So might do that beofre anything else and get the rear end welded down.

Cool there is light at the end of the tunnel then with all the outer panels going on. Sounds like it will keep you busy for a little while. Nice work :)

Cracked on today as didn't get down to the unit yesterday.

Got the door post closing plate fitted


6AC2DB00-A3F3-4759-8A77-CD8A70006CB7.jpg

Then cracked on with the rear quarter on the drivers side. Got it all removed and tacked into place and is fully welded to the wheel arch.
Will weld it bit by bit so to minimise any distortion.

Drilling spot welds

Slowly cut this off

Lined up and trimmed to fit

Cleaned all the filler off the rear end and found out she's had a rear end at some point. I knocked this all out beofre fitting the rear quarter.
